Alright, I’ve been getting a few comments on how “woke” this is and how I’m now part of a radical left movement etc. First of all, Mitch Pileggi as the narrator did a fantastic job. The comments he made were written by someone else, I understand that. Secondly, i said misogyny and meant objectifying, you get a point for that. Everyone makes mistakes. Not sure why everyone felt so attacked by my comments on this video and definitely did not want to divide anyone or “take sides”. I understand that you are all probably good and interesting people with whom I’d love to have a real conversation with some day, in person. Semantics are rampant online. I love you no matter what. Right, left, up, down whatever. ♥️

@syv2un1 Год назад

I'm old enough to remember that 'Masked Magician' featured only tricks that were already old as making wine from water. Of course money was involved, but I always saw the show as outlet for tricks that need to die already. Pretty much same thing Penn & Teller did but on wider scale.

@user-zh4vo1kw1z Год назад

Funny, I would say "same thing as Penn & Teller did only not as good, interesting, fun, creative or well known"

@KYRSZ-gd1qt Год назад

Not true. A lot of the tricks shown in the Masked Magician were tricks from David Copperfield's shows. It ticked David Copperfield off a lot and I believe he publicly expressed his hatred for the Masked Magician. So much so that there was speculation that the Masked Magician was actually David Copperfield before he revealed himself.

@redbeard36 Год назад

Penn and Teller usually add a twist of some sort.

@penfold7800 Год назад

The main purpose of both shows, from Magicians' point of view, was to once again publicise performance magic to gather more interest in it as Magic as a chosen career was beginning to die. Thankfully, its not dead yet and there are still stage shows for people to enjoy again.

@DevanSabaratnam Год назад

I remember this show, and I also remember my main takeaway being that the "magician" hardly did anything at all, and the "assistants" seemed to be the ones who had to do all the work and were in charge of timing, flexibility, contortion, deception, hiding and misdirection. Even as a kid I remember hoping that they got paid more than the guy in the suit!

@penfold7800 Год назад

and historically, that and ego is what has caused more breakups and departures of magicians and thier assistants for years. In some cases though, it has to be said that the Magician was the original designer of the effect and thier job on stage was then just to present the effect, performed mainly by the Assistant.

@paradoxguy9226 Год назад

I like to think the word assistant was used to mislead there role in the whole thing. This maybe true in some cases most likely not.

@standardofexcellence Год назад

The magician is just an attention whore with an immaturity complex so he's like if I fake everything they will think it's magic and ill be cool instead of an insecure narcissistic douchebag, it's the equivalent of a girl on tiktok

@penfold7800 Год назад

@@paradoxguy9226 Yep, definately true. The misdirection being that the Magician waving thier arms around and provocatively talking giving the effect that they were in control and commanding something to happen, when largely its the assistant and stage hands actually making it happen. Thats Magic! (as Paul Daniels would say). Its a form of entertainment, and to enjoy the effect to its full extent, one needs to look at it through your inner child with wonder and amazement. I do this regularly. I turn off my intuition and put asside my technical knowledge for half an hour and just enjoy it as its meant to appear.

@dragon_toad Год назад

My big takeaway was how many illusions basically relied on a perfectly timed mechanism or the magician being able to smush himself into the tiniest of places to avoid a gruesom death. There was one with him "strapped" to a platform with another platform covered with spikes about to drop on him. The space he had to fit into to avoid being skewered was about the size of a labrador.

@cachetheline Год назад

I'm happy to see you react to these. Aesthetically, the show was never my favourite thing, but I always liked seeing the reveals.

Love it!

@mattdaaamon Год назад

Part of the reason magic is thriving now is because people have more of an understanding of how tricks might work and a desire to see people who can improve on those tricks or do them so well it doesn't matter that they know how the trick is done. I think it has forced the quality and innovation in magic to go up greatly and the most talented people to be rewarded for actual skill. Penn and teller were showing how some tricks were done long before this but they always had a respect and appreciation for innovation.

@ansalem12 Год назад

I was never very interested in magic until I saw Penn and Teller's cup and ball explanation (and then their other explanations). Like I would enjoy most tricks I saw but I'd never go out of my way to find magicians to watch. Being able to understand how things can be done is the only reason I even started caring about magic to begin with. I don't need to understand them all, but the 2 biggest things about magic to me are the creativity and the skill involved. If you don't know how any tricks are done it's hard to have a proper appreciation for the skill it takes and often the creativity side of it too, at least that's how it is for me. Although now that I do know how a lot of tricks work, I can appreciate the tricks I don't understand a lot more just because I have a better overall picture of magic in general so I don't look for explanations very often anymore.

@user-zh4vo1kw1z Год назад

Its the basis of their current show. The more they respect the trick or performer, the more they'll speak in code. Look up when a kid shows up, it is amazingly adorable. Or the British variant, where a dude showed up with a store bought trick, tbey annihilated his ego. Butt, Also, the face Teller makes when it turns out he was utterly wrong or is completely baffled is just the best. when explaining, they also had a few with a second trick hidden, just to hammer home "but we really are the shit though" I remember them showing how to hide a hanky in an egg, keeping the hole in full view of camera and audience, pointing at their actions. Then going "and if anyone catches you, just peel off the hole and eat it", with the hole suddenly turned into a sticker. Or the cup and ball, they used to do it with balls just randomly appearing. Which you only notice of you keep track of both the explanation AND the trick (I just randomly went "waiiiiiiiit a minute" while.... Imbibing, so I had a moment where I thought reality jist glitched)

@user-zh4vo1kw1z Год назад

@@ansalem12 you should go down that rabbit hole again: in some old performances extra balls materialise. I remember one where he acts annoyed at one and says "this one wasn't supposed to be here yet", tosses it out and still have the right ball count on the table. That one just fried my brain

@ChrisWCorp Год назад

I LOVED watching The Masked Magician on TV when I was a kid. Not only because it was interesting but because I learned how some of these tricks worked. This didn't spoil "the magic" for me, it just made me more interested in learning and WANTING to do magic (buying those kids magic kits and performing the cups and balls or disappearing handkerchief). I still love that these tricks were revealed, because it helped magic evolve into what it is today.

@dragon_toad Год назад

Yup, that if I recall was the whole point of the show - I still remember Val Valentino's speech at the finale of the very first season, explaining how the show was to bring back the wonder and excitement about magic again and get people interested in magic again. Helped that it also forced magicians to design new illusions instead of relying on the old stuff. Which is why I was so annoyed with the later seasons, they were revealing the secrets behind brand new fresh illusions, at the height of magic's popularity in the 2000s. Which was the exat opposite of what the show was for.

I loved this show, too. I've always been interested in magic, although not a practitioner, myself. I am a professional musician, though. And just like I can still appreciate a good performance of a piece even though I know how to play it, knowing how the illusion is done has not ruined magic for me -- just the opposite. It's given me a much greater appreciation for magicians, especially with more difficult tricks (such as with close-up magic). A magician who can perform a trick really well is just as impressive even if know some of the tricks now that magicians use. By the way, for those who don't know, the narrator is Mitch Pileggi, the voice of Walter Skinner from The X-Files (he also had a stint on Stargate as Colonel Steven Caldwell). So he's actually really well known in the science fiction community.

The Narrator plays FBI Director Walter Skinner on the X-Files show. We didn't get many of the this show here in the UK. It was only shown on Satellite/cable TV and even then it was one of the free to air channels with a channel number way up in the few hundreds. lol I think the first season, or at least a handful of early episodes, was on normal TV, But then it disappeared for a while to return on Satellite/cable TV. Even then there wasn't a whole lot of seasons and episodes and what we did get was repeated constantly. I guess Magic shows are not as big over here. For example when David Blaine was doing his 'staying in a plastic box stunt' withing the first 20 minutes a guy turned up with his golf clubs and a bag of balls and just spent an hour twatting balls off David's box... Gotta love the British Humour. hahaha

@Rhewin Год назад

I think that was on purpose. Most stage magic shows at the time were just like this. Women in skimpy clothes put in risqué positions while some “illusionist” danced around some boxes. I think the narrator is so over the top to expose how they were used as props while also doing all the work. Stage magic was very stagnant in the 90s, especially with the rise of close up, but stage magicians wouldn’t change. They were turning magic into a joke.

@loreleimonn3220 Год назад

@@Rhewin That might be true to an extent, but I honestly think the main reason is just that they thought it would get more people to watch the show.

I so enjoy the interaction Chris has with the narrator! Chris, you're funny and right! :D

I remember recording these and David Blaine's original Street Magic on the VCR. Those were my most prized VHS tapes for sure.

MAN… I can’t unhear this ….😂😂😂😂 still was a interesting start on staring magic

@DjPorkchop73 Год назад

Awesome video Chris! I hope the video don't get flagged. I would love to see more of them. It was fun and a trip down memory lane for sure. On a side note, Would also love to see you do another episode of "You flash, you lose" for old time sake. Those were great.

POV: He's the assistant for all the magician girls.

He might not have been entirely forthcoming with regards to his motivation, but he wasn't wrong about the potential for the internet to shake up things.

@ChrisRamsay52 Год назад

100% agree. He was definitely on to something!

Thank you Chris for educating us. Keep them coming. You are the best in RU-vid Magic!!😊

@kuehrmc Год назад

I wish you made a Shout-out to the Pendragons. They changed the "lovely assistant" trope into a magic duo. Love the video. Thanks!

The only levitation I have not fully figured out is Xavier Mortimer who currently performs at the Strat in Vegas. I saw his show at Ballys a few years back and was amazed, although I had a theory:) Watching videos of new riffs on it, I'm not so sure my theory works, but it's definitely awesome! (He levitates whilst swinging a skipping rope around his entire self. In my theory, watching the trick literally just 30 feet away, even if my theory holds it's still mind blowing!)

@kg4wwn Год назад

Think something is attached to the ends of the jump ropes and he's holding himself up by his hands while spinning a rope? Only idea I could come up with.

@ebonypenasie2641 Год назад

Can you do a part 2 but we’re they reveal the Chris Angel walking on water one ? Because I remember seeing Chris angel live and you can tell how all the magic was done

@wumbojet Год назад

It's very cool to see that the "main magician" almost always functions as the distraction and misdirection while the other magicians do the bulk of most tricks. The writing team was out of pocket to be honest.

Please react to the ‘Buried Alive’ illusion. Mitch Pileggi’s “What, no TV?” line has lived in my head rent free since I first saw it.

@Cyrribrae Год назад

Having watched some of these years ago, I knew that the girls did all the work, but this really did drive home that the girls do ALL the work hahaha. This was fun! Didn't realize you guys had done a TV show.. hm...

@@ChrisRamsay52 Hope we get more of these reactions. Can't go long without "beautiful assistant Antoine"

The voice over guy is Mitch Pileggi. He played Skinner on X-Files. I really enjoyed this Chris. Your reactions were priceless!

Hi i love you videos

@BQM04 Год назад

Thank you, Sir. May I have another? XD Chris, I feel the same way. I loved this show growing up! Let's watch more together!

@Subxenox15 Год назад

Is it really misogyny if the women involved were happy to be there getting paid to look hot and perform? Like...People nowadays in the same breath would say the man is being mysogynistic but the women are being empowered....Confusing times eh.

@Dave-Ne1469 Год назад

loved this 1 today! you are awesome chris!!

@travisobryan8460 Год назад

Im cool with the narration. It's refreshing we can hear the obvious of what men are thinking. Yeah we are animals, we all know it. These days we just pretend we aren't thinking it.
